He's a straight, Christian man. He can't wrap his head around Bruce's change because he's never been through it. I honestly doubt he meant any harm, though.

Probably true. Steve Harvey is a very humble person.
“If you’re talking to a dude and he tells you he’s an atheist, you need to pack up and go home. You’re talking to a person who doesn’t believe in God… what’s his moral barometer?… If you’re an atheist, you’re basing your goodness and morality on what?”
So apparently you need to be scared of being punished by God to be a good person.
he's not really sure what atheists are, but thinks they're idiots anyway
“What is an atheist? I talk to people all the time, [who say] ‘I’m an atheist.’ I just walk away. I don’t know what to say to you…. To me, you’re an idiot.”
on evolution and the big bang
He disputes that life on Earth started with a "gastris ball." (We're not sure what that is, either!) The reasoning: "We evolved from monkeys? Why we still got monkeys??"
Mind you, the theory of evolution does not state anything about evolving from monkeys. We share common ancestors with monkeys and other primates. But I guess Steve Harvey is "just walks away" before trying to be educated on a subject.
on gay men not being real men because real men must have a woman
After host Joy Behar says that gay men “can live without us," and Harvey responds saying “There isn’t a real man living who can live without one of you. He doesn’t exist. We have to have you. That’s a great piece of knowledge to have.”
why men cheat on women
“Why do men cheat? It’s really because there are so many women out there that are willing to cheat with them.”
on women and sports
“He knows this is not sincere. You’re not really interested in the game. You’re just trying to figure out why he’s picking sports over you. The guy’s been a sports fan all his life. He’s got to get ready for Monday morning. He’s got to go to work, let everybody know, he’s got to armchair quarterback, he’s got to tell them, ‘I saw the play.’ We got to be abreast of this so we can participate as men the next day. We don’t have time. ‘Why is everybody yelling?’ Because he scored. ‘Scored what?’ A goal. ‘How many points you get for a goal?’ Hey, hey, I’m watching the game here.”
men cannot be friends with women because they only want to **** women
“All my friends are men. I don't have female friends. I don't. I'm incapable of that.”
Asked if this was because he is married, Harvey said, “Well, I have a wife and I don’t really have female friends because, look, okay – okay, let me tell you this. Let's get rid of the myths. You're an attractive woman. There's some guy somewhere saying, yes, we're friends. No, that's not true.”
“He's your friend only because you have made it absolutely clear that nothing else is happening except this friendship we have," said Harvey, author of the best seller Straight Talk, No Chaser: How To Find and Keep a Man.
“We remain your friends in hopes that one day there will be a crack in the door, a chink in the armor,” he said. “Trust and believe: that guy you think is just your buddy, he will slide in that crack the moment he gets the opportunity because we're guys.”
Whitfield then asked, “You think most men think this way?” and Harvey said, “99.9% of us think that way. You tell this to a woman and it blows her back -- 'No, I have male friends.' You have male friends because they know it can be nothing else right now.”
In conclusion, Harvey said, “I'll tell you what, all your male friends, just ask them in a friendly way, ‘If I wanted to date you, would you be okay with that?’ and watch the fireworks. Watch. I'm telling you.”
Steve Harvey lives so far from that world, of course he can't really wrap his head around it. At least he wasn't disrespectful talking about it though.
People need to come to the realization that not everyone will understand stuff likes this and it is what it is. I think he doesn't understand how he could have a wife and children and just one day at 65 decide that it's a right time to be a woman. You can call it transphobic, but it's what many people don't understand, and I'm sure Bruce Jenner is aware with that mentality and fine with it. I am appreciate him NOT being politically correct about it since there are a lot of fake people who would just put on a front just to avoid backlash.

yes, we need more racist, homophobic, transphobic, and sexist people to be not be "fake" and "politically correct" and openly say uninformed, gross things. what a thing to appreciate.

I don't think he said anything that was "gross."
And what I meant is that I appreciate when someone actually admits when they can't understand something, which is basically what he did. And nothing is wrong with saying that you're uninformed or don't understand something, especially when that world isn't in your face to understand it. He didn't call him a "tranny," "shim," or said he should go to hell. He's obviously ignorant to this transition, as many people are, but Steve hardly said anything that was shocking, outrageous or deserves backlash here.

you're not wrong, i just hate the attitude that not being "politically correct" is something to admire when you're saying things about disenfranchised people. he didn't say anything too bad, but he is such a vile person.
Disgusting person. Not because of the transgender thing (which was a little ignorant but not that bad) but the comments above. The "politically correct" thing to do? Ffs.
